In addition to the previously announced additional service to many international points, such as Kingston, Sanitago de Chile, Rio de Janeiro, and others, American Airlines is expanding domestic service, and some international service, from Miami once again this winter. This winter, so far, American Airlines and American Eagle will offer 262 daily flights from Miami International Airport to 101 destinations (99 non-stops plus Asuncion via Sao Paulo and Santa Cruz as a triangle via La Paz, but non-stop on the return).

Obviously, the Florida destinations are seasonal (as far as I can tell), but its good to see them adding mainline flights in any circumstance. No PBI, which is what I was told would be starting this winter. Too bad.

Like you said, it is always good news to see added mainline flights even if they are seasonal. About the PBI, it is still possible. They probably are still finalizing their winter schedule.

This was probably it right here. There are too many new routes, upgraded frequencies, a/c changes for this one not be it. In the past I think they have even finished the winter schedules in the last August timetables.

On a good note, STL-VPS will stick around 2x weekly and remains VPS' only midwest connection. Hopefully, with the cutting of CVG-VPS the STL route will get stronger and good enough to resume daily.

RIC secound frequency is still in the schedule also, though it only operates on Sun., Mon., Wed., Thurs.. Also, IND is still there as well.

Why is it that no US carrier seems to be able to make anything out of BOS-YUL? AA has now dropped twice, DL has also dropped it twice at least. And to think that that route used to see multiple daily L-1011s.

Strange, huh? I agree, I remember when DL had four 1011s per day on this route back in the 1980s (when I was at school in Boston).........maybe something for Song?

Back to MIA.......

Any update on transatlantic services for the winter schedule? Only one flight per day to LHR (didnt AA fly a second frequency on the MIA-LHR route a couple days per week in recent years?); is MAN returning (I did not see in on the list above); no news about the FRA flight returning or the long rumored MIA-BRU flight?

Quoting SHUPirate1 (Reply 19):MIA-MAN is returning X13, which is why it didn't show up (you may noticed I did a list of all flights on that Wednesday), January 10th-April 1st.

Thanks for the info.....I didnt realize that the flight was going to 5 times per week instead of daily, and I also didnt realize that its operating a very short winter season, ie, not re-starting until after the new year. regards.

Just adding to that list, it doesn't take into some minor things:
-Non-stops to Vail, Colorado operate SaSu
-2nd daily to Santiago de Chile operates TuThSa
-BDA service is only WeFrSu
-MVD service is only MoWeFr
-SKB service is xMoTu
-2nd GIG service is xSuMo
-2nd PIT service operates Sa
-2nd and 3rd CMH service operate Sa/2nd CMH service operates Su
-LPB flight is triangle service to VVI (MIA-LPB-VVI-MIA)
-Everything else is daily

Quoting SABE (Reply 23):So CLO is getting downgraded from a 757 to a 737-800? Wow!

Though CLO is supposed to be getting 4 extra weekly flights, like it did this summer. Hasn't been uploaded yet. MDE gets 3 extra flights. Will operate mid-December through early Feburary, and then again from June through the end of August (as they did this summer).
